INVICTUS RECORDS SMAS 9802
Original Pressing (cover/record): VG+/EX


Beautiful copy of this excellent record. Personnel basically includes funkadelic as the backing band, if you like Osmium, this is your sh!t right here. Racous breaks, Eddie Hazel's fuzzed out shredding guitars. There are loads of studio trickery going here to melt your face!

Cover:
This is an excellent "gimmick" fold out cover, that reveals a super sexy full bodied poster of the gorgeous Ruth Copeland, with crazy shot of her belly button on the inside of the fold out. The fold out is strong and is basically near mint. There are some minor imprefections here and there that made me grade this VG+. On the front the upper left has a tear, also there are some dinged corners, also some dings on the portion of her hand and mid-drift on the front; on the back of the cover there is an orange sticker diamter is about the size of your pinky finger. There is also some paper residue in the top right of the back cover. The spine is fully in tact, with some rubbing that has rubbed the RU in ruth copeland on the spine a bit

Album:
labels are spotless, both sides spindle holes are tight. Sides 1 & 2 have minor surface rubbing when viewed under a 250 watt lamp, but after play grading all the way through, they do not affect play back. Sound quality is excellent across all tracks, with the faintest of surface noise audible when listening loud as hell with headphones on. This is def. a file forever type copy of this rarity.

My Grading:

NM Looks unplayed or perhaps played just a few times. The cleanest grade I give and very rarely used.

EX Very light surface marks often from the inner sleeve that do not affect play. Perhaps a very light tick or brief moment of barely audible surface noise at the very worst. Overall a very clean record.

VG+ Light surface noise during a quiet moment or two. Might play with a few light pops here and there but nothing sustained over more than a few seconds.

VG Surface noise is more pronounced or more frequent than in a VG+ record, but never skips or overtakes the music. Might play with some light pops or ticks for a minute or two at a time. Still an enjoyable listen.

VG- A filler copy. Will play with louder pops or ticks than a VG record and surface noise might compete with the music during the quieter moments. I will only offer a record in this condition when its scarcity demands.

Please note all items are original pressings, unless explicitly noted otherwise.
